Best Grilled Fish In Foil Recipes

EASY GRILLED FISH FILLET IN FOIL PACKETS

Steps:

• Place the fish in the center of the foil, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
• Place a slice of lemon on top of each piece of fish, then a sprig of herbs on each.
• Fold up the edges so that it's completely sealed and no steam will escape, creating a loose tent.
• Heat half of the grill (on one side) on high heat with the cover closed.
• When the grill is hot, place the foil packets on the side of the grill with the burners off (indirect heat) and close the grill.
• Depending on the thickness of your fish, cook 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through. My porgy fillets took about 12 minutes.

GRILLED SALMON IN FOIL WITH HERBY GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat. Whisk 1 Tbsp. honey, 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt, and 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest in a small bowl to combine. Add 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped, 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature, and 2 Tbsp. finely chopped dill and whisk again to combine (some lemon zest may remain separate and that's okay).
• Tear off a large piece of foil according to the length and thickness of salmon (15x15" or larger) and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Place one 1 lb. boneless salmon fillet, preferably skin-on, arranging skin side down if skin is on, in center of foil (the skin will stick slightly to foil and brown while the fish cooks; you want this as it will add to the sauce). Spread garlic butter over fish, then drizzle 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice on top. Carefully fold one side of foil up and over fish so lemon juice stays contained, then bring other sides up to meet it and fold together to seal, leaving about a 4" opening on top for steam to escape (this will help sauce reduce a bit).
• Place foil packet on grate and grill fish until opaque throughout and firm, 16-20 minutes. Transfer packet to a cutting board and let fish rest 5 minutes.
• Carefully open foil packet and cut fish in half. Transfer to plates; pour juices from packet over. Drizzle fish with remaining 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, dividing evenly, and top with more finely chopped dill.

FISH AND VEGETABLE FOIL PACKETS

Layer with 1/4 of the onion slices, 1/4 cup tomatoes, and 1/4 of the basil. Fold foil over vegetables, crimp edges to seal tightly, and place on a baking sheet. Repeat to make remaining packets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables are tender and fish flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes.
